I recently posted a tutorial on layering scarves and necklaces, focusing on long necklaces and long scarves.  Here, I’m looking at short necklaces with long scarves.

There are several ways to make these two types of pieces work together.  The key is to make sure that your scarf isn’t completely obscuring your necklace.  Otherwise, what’s the point?

Wearing a scarf as a shawl can be easy and fun.

A simple single loop around the neck looks nice as well.  Just be careful the loop isn’t too loose, or your necklace might get covered up.

This is one of my favorites.  I call it the peek-a-boo, since the necklace peeks out through the scarf.  It works really well with pendants.

The European-style.  Make sure it’s set off to the side instead of down the middle.

I’m still experimenting with other combinations of lengths, but at this point, the two combinations I’ve shown (long scarf & long necklace, long scarf and short necklace) are really the only two that I like.  Short scarves obscure short necklaces and look kind of weird with medium or long ones.  Medium scarves work with short necklaces, but with basically the same ties shown here.  I think the key is that the scarf needs to be as long as or longer than the necklace, otherwise things look off-balance.
